Why Is It Raining in the House? Weekend Recap
Guten Morgan this fine Monday. I hope your weekend was a bitchin one and you're ready for a short week. (Or maybe you pup owners are breaking out the Thunder shirts in anticipation of the people who are going to be setting off fireworks for the next seven days. I know we always have people setting them off at random usually starting tonight. I do actually miss sparklers from when I was a kid and conducting a symphony to make shapes in the air burned into your vision.) Friday was exhausting y'all. I had to get some worm spray for a looper worm infestation on my brassicas (who the hell am I??) and whilst poking around the nursery with lightning and looming thunder Thursday night, I spotted a flat of begonias marked down to $10. Given my zinnias couldn't stay in the long planters because they need sun, I had to relent and buy the begonias. Anything to block the sea hag from peeking over. So Friday morning I got to work picking of...
I have gone apple picking and I like doing that when it's not too crowded out there. I don't bake but if I did I'd make apple pie because that is the best!
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely orchard time! Can't wait to see your mouth watering pics!
ReplyDeleteHappy Fall, I know you love it
I thoroughly enjoy this time of year and am hoping to go to the orchard in the next week or two when it cools down (back in the mid 80's next week). I used to make this amazing apple bundt cake of my mom's that was so delicious! The hubs isn't a big dessert guy, and the cake makes a lot, so this year I decided I'm going to make a fun apple tart with a mix of Granny Smith and Pink Lady apples, and Pinata apples (for a tropical twist).
ReplyDeleteI sometimes see an ad for a "pick your own" place, but I haven't ever been able to figure out exactly were it is. Maybe this is the year. Mom has an apple tree in her yard so if I'm up there at the right time I will bring a bunch home. I love apple pie, but I love it even more if someone else makes it. My favorite thing to do with apples is to make applesauce. It's easy, a few spices and my crockpot, it make the house smell fantastic, it freezes well, and it tastes amazing.
